A poem by Paul McCartney entitled 'The Poet of Dumbwomans Lane'
a single sheet in blue ballpoint, reading, The voice of the poet of Dumbwoman's Lane/Can be heard across vallies of sugar-burned cane/And nostrils that sleep through the wildest of nights /Will be twitching to gain aromatic insights/The wife of the farmer of Poppinghole Lane/Can be seen from the cab of the Robertsbridge train/And passengers comments will frequently turn/To the wages the wife of a farmer can earn/The poet of Dumbwoman's lane sallies forth/He is hoping for no-one to see, signed with love Paul (YESTERDAYS MAN), the reverse with cartoon by Paul inscribed The Nutters of Starvecrow Lane


Sold for £6,000 inclusive of Buyer's Premium
